Frequently asked questions
Do I pay Utah income tax if I live in Nevada?
Yes. Utah taxes wages earned there by nonresidents. On $100,000 that's about $4,450.
Do I have to file taxes in both Nevada and Utah?
Usually you file only one state return (a nonresident return in Utah), though some states still require a nonresident return to get a refund of any wrongly withheld tax.
Will I be taxed twice?
No. Nevada has no income tax, so you pay only Utah's nonresident tax: about $4,450 on $100,000.
